Benita Tyler, author of Put Up or Get Shut Down: An Urban Tale of the Motorcycle World As I Know It
(Beloved Daffodils Inspirations)
“Put Up Or Get Shut Down” is a bold and sassy “up in your face” excursion into the urban motorcycle world. In this very exciting tale, you’ll meet Salty Dog. He’s a narcissistic brother with an ego big enough to match the horsepower of his chrome 1300 Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle.
Throughout this epic journey, you’ll learn about the scandalous women who lurk around the urban motorcycle scene looking for a opportunity to get a “ride” in one way or another from the motorcycle brothers. You’ll also get a chance to see how Salty Dog squirms as he defends the races he wins and puts together.
You’ll have to either put up or get shut down trying to flee from this humorous urban tale.
